Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge
Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge
The first cable-stayed bridge in West Africa spans a lagoon. It is a city landmark for morning jogs, fitness and night-time photography.
This cable-stayed bridge, about 1.36 km long, opened in 2013 as West Africa's first cable-stayed bridge. It links Ikoyi and Lekki Phase 1, crossing the Five Cowries lagoon. The bridge has a pedestrian walkway, and at dawn and on weekend evenings many residents gather there to jog and exercise. At night the pylons are lit with coloured lights, a signature image of Lagos. Drivers pay a toll to cross, while pedestrians go free. Keep an eye on your phone and other belongings on the bridge.
